      Decent company to work for.

      Pros

      Growing company. Well organized and good training. The company has a lot going for them but they tend to turn a blind eye to SM's that aren't the best. Basically if your store is making money they don't care about anything that happens behind the curtains. Decent discount and products. Really enjoyed working for the company but ultimately left due to my SM.

      Cons

      Not much room for advancement unless you want to move to another city or state or someone leaves a store. Employee retention is not the best due to poor upper management. Products tend to be the same every year, just different colors.

      Pros

      I didn't encounter any pros for this job or company for that matter.

      Cons

      There are too many to put in this list but I will start with the local management all the way the chain to senior management is lacking personal attention to employees and their needs.

      Works around college school schedule

      Pros

      Great hours (mall opens at 10am and closes at 8pm, holiday hours only extend 1 hour). Shifts usually 9am-3pm or 2:30pm-9pm. Flexible around school schedules, days off change weekly, they don't keep you there long after close usually 30-45mins max. Breakroom fridge, microwave, lockers. rotating department shifts every two hours, so you're not stuck on register or in fitting rooms for an entire shift. Great coworkers, fun and exciting products, great discounts. Employee parking is close to the store.

      Cons

      Most of the customers are foreigners stopping to stretch their legs on the way to the grand canyon. Many don't speak english, mostly from Europe and asia. Lunch breaks are only 30mins, which is fine in the summer, but pack a lunch in the winter or else you'll spend you're entire break in line at the food court. Ads change every week, so you're constantly changing mannequins and displays. No snaks or drinks are allowed outside of the break area (which isn't a bad thing until you're flooded with customers for hours).
